Chapter 7
1After this, Jesus traveled throughout Galilee. He did not want to travel in Judea, because the Jews there were trying to kill Him.
(Hebrew unavailable)
2However, the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles was near.
(Hebrew unavailable)
3So Jesus’ brothers said to Him, “Leave here and go to Judea, so that Your disciples there may see the works You are doing.
(Hebrew unavailable)
4For no one who wants to be known publicly acts in secret. Since You are doing these things, show Yourself to the world.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
5For even His own brothers did not believe in Him.
(Hebrew unavailable)
6Therefore Jesus told them, “Although your time is always at hand, My time has not yet come.
(Hebrew unavailable)
7The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me, because I testify that its works are evil.
(Hebrew unavailable)
8Go up to the feast on your own. I am not going up to this feast, because My time has not yet come.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
9Having said this, Jesus remained in Galilee.
(Hebrew unavailable)
10But after His brothers had gone up to the feast, He also went—not publicly, but in secret.
(Hebrew unavailable)
11So the Jews were looking for Him at the feast and asking, “Where is He?”
(Hebrew unavailable)
12Many in the crowds were whispering about Him. Some said, “He is a good man.” But others replied, “No, He deceives the people.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
13Yet no one would speak publicly about Him for fear of the Jews.
(Hebrew unavailable)
14About halfway through the feast, Jesus went up to the temple courts and began to teach.
(Hebrew unavailable)
15The Jews were amazed and asked, “How did this man attain such learning without having studied?”
(Hebrew unavailable)
16“My teaching is not My own,” Jesus replied. “It comes from Him who sent Me.
(Hebrew unavailable)
17If anyone desires to do His will, he will know whether My teaching is from God or whether I speak on My own.
(Hebrew unavailable)
18He who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory, but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is a man of truth; in Him there is no falsehood.
(Hebrew unavailable)
19Has not Moses given you the law? Yet not one of you keeps it. Why are you trying to kill Me?”
(Hebrew unavailable)
20“You have a demon,” the crowd replied. “Who is trying to kill You?”
(Hebrew unavailable)
21Jesus answered them, “I did one miracle, and you are all amazed.
(Hebrew unavailable)
22But because Moses gave you circumcision, you circumcise a boy on the Sabbath (not that it is from Moses, but from the patriarchs.)
(Hebrew unavailable)
23If a boy can be circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses will not be broken, why are you angry with Me for making the whole man well on the Sabbath?
(Hebrew unavailable)
24Stop judging by outward appearances, and start judging justly.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
25Then some of the people of Jerusalem began to say, “Isn’t this the man they are trying to kill?
(Hebrew unavailable)
26Yet here He is, speaking publicly, and they are not saying anything to Him. Have the rulers truly recognized that this is the Christ?
(Hebrew unavailable)
27But we know where this man is from. When the Christ comes, no one will know where He is from.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
28Then Jesus, still teaching in the temple courts, cried out, “You know Me, and you know where I am from. I have not come of My own accord, but He who sent Me is true. You do not know Him,
(Hebrew unavailable)
29but I know Him, because I am from Him and He sent Me.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
30So they tried to seize Him, but no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.
(Hebrew unavailable)
31Many in the crowd, however, believed in Him and said, “When the Christ comes, will He perform more signs than this man?”
(Hebrew unavailable)
32When the Pharisees heard the crowd whispering these things about Jesus, they and the chief priests sent officers to arrest Him.
(Hebrew unavailable)
33So Jesus said, “I am with you only a little while longer, and then I am going to the One who sent Me.
(Hebrew unavailable)
34You will look for Me, but you will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
35At this, the Jews said to one another, “Where does He intend to go that we will not find Him? Will He go where the Jews are dispersed among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?
(Hebrew unavailable)
36What does He mean by saying, ‘You will look for Me, but you will not find Me,’ and, ‘Where I am, you cannot come’?”
(Hebrew unavailable)
37On the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood up and called out in a loud voice, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.
(Hebrew unavailable)
38Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture has said: ‘Streams of living water will flow from within him.’”
(Hebrew unavailable)
39He was speaking about the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were later to receive. For the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.
(Hebrew unavailable)
40On hearing these words, some of the people said, “This is truly the Prophet.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
41Others declared, “This is the Christ.” But still others asked, “How can the Christ come from Galilee?
(Hebrew unavailable)
42Doesn’t the Scripture say that the Christ will come from the line of David and from Bethlehem, the village where David lived?”
(Hebrew unavailable)
43So there was division in the crowd because of Jesus.
(Hebrew unavailable)
44Some of them wanted to seize Him, but no one laid a hand on Him.
(Hebrew unavailable)
45Then the officers returned to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked them, “Why didn’t you bring Him in?”
(Hebrew unavailable)
46“Never has anyone spoken like this man!” the officers answered.
(Hebrew unavailable)
47“Have you also been deceived?” replied the Pharisees.
(Hebrew unavailable)
48“Have any of the rulers or Pharisees believed in Him?
(Hebrew unavailable)
49But this crowd that does not know the law—they are under a curse.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
50Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus earlier and who himself was one of them, asked,
(Hebrew unavailable)
51“Does our law convict a man without first hearing from him to determine what he has done?”
(Hebrew unavailable)
52“Aren’t you also from Galilee?” they replied. “Look into it, and you will see that no prophet comes out of Galilee.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
53Then each went to his own home.
(Hebrew unavailable)
